2024 US Election
One of Jonesy's better posts imo

This is what I tried to post btw
Florida has been working for years to crack down on employers that hire undocumented immigrants. But that presented a problem for businesses in the state that are desperate for workers to fill low-wage and often undesirable jobs.
Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state legislature have a potential solution: children.
The state’s legislature on Tuesday advanced a bill that would loosen child labor laws, allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.
Totally normal.
Mirth completely senseless. Case in point, Botswana which is where the US gets natural diamonds, buys very little from US. So he put that 70% tariff on us. For diamonds the US doesn’t mine.
Lesotho has a similar rate. They export tons of textiles enabled by the American Growth and Opportunities Act that Bush introduced. So he’s disabling their main export earner that the US helped develop

Isn't that what Mirth's tweet said?
Quite worrying if Trump actually thinks that's what tariffs are. Like Claude says, Trump's math will basically conclude that any country not importing that much stuff from USA have a tarriff on them.
In Norway's case, the import numbers he's using are also wrong. I'll assume this goes for several countries.
When JFK launched USAID, he described it as "a source of strength of us". It was often framed as a way to expand influence in emerging markets ahead of "adversaries". You will definitely see developing countries look to Europe, and BRICS countries for export markets and development assistance. It feels like a war against us

QuincyAbeyie Isn't that what Mirth's tweet said?
Yeah you're right, there were so many theories flying around yesterday so thought Mirth was something different!

it's always about power and control with this administration. the tariffs are a form of economic blackmail to bring the business world to heel in the short term. make no mistake, this is a short term power play to enforce obedience from corporate america, and by extension the rest of the world. as always, they're running a PR scam is that it's for the longterm good of the country. we'll see how much economic pain his cult will tolerate. if the public start to turn on him, I'd expect him to start a war with iran and declare a national emergency and dictatorial powers

Mirth aye. congress has the power of the purse, but if you defang congress and the IRS and make revenue collection fall under the purview of the executive in the form of tariffs, that's the whole ball game. and as always they will jingle a shiny set of keys like 'abolish the IRS', which sounds great if you're stupid or greedy. they know how to sell this dogshit to the public
